RNS 0.3.7 is now available

[markqvist]

This release comes with a big upgrade to reliability and resilience, with lots of small bug fixes and improvements, along with some significant new additions and features. The documentation and API reference has also seen several improvements for clarity.

Users of I2P interfaces will see big improvements in reliability with better handling of errors from the I2P SAM API, and much better automatic recovery when I2P connectivity is intermittent.

Reticulum is now able to perform network-wide discovery of unknown paths, using the new Gateway interface mode. The stability of established links has also been improved by using a better timeout calculation method.

It is also worth mentioning the addition of the two new utilities, rncp and rnx, that allow you to transfer files to remote systems, and perform remote command execution.

Please Note! For using 64-bit IFACs on RNode hardware, your RNodes must be running at least firmware version 1.28.
